With an estimated 15 million Americans currently using GLP-1 receptor agonists, and another 50% of Americans eligible for their use, how do these medications reshape nutrition needs beyond calorie reduction? This session will explore emerging research on optimizing nutrition for adolescents and adults using GLP-1 therapies, focusing on micronutrient sufficiency, hydration strategies, and behavioral adaptations—the “missing pieces” of GLP-1 nutrition. Hear from experts translating the latest research on GLP-1s and ensuring nutrition science and practice does not forget these “missing pieces” given the rapid rise of GLP-1 therapies.
